Court gives landlord ultimatum to repair dilapidated bungalow
A Grade “A” Customary Court in Mushin on Thursday gave a landlord three months’ ultimatum to repair his dilapidated bungalow or have it sealed for environmental nuisance.
The Court President, Abayomi Ipaye said that the bungalow at No. 14, Agoro St., Mushin had defective roof, partially collapsed fence, cracked floor, dilapidated toilets and decrepit bathrooms.
He said if the landlord failed to rehabilitate the building within the period, the court would have no option than sealing it.
The Mushin Local Government had on May 19 arraigned the landlord, Mr Babatunde Onitiri, over the environmental nuisance the building has constituted.
The council’s Health Officer, Raji Razak had submitted that the building also lacked a kitchen.
He said the nuisance contravened the Lagos State Environmental Law, 2003 and the Mushin Local Government Bye-Law, 2004.
Onitiri had blamed the poor sanitation on refusal of a tenant in the building to pack out to pave way for repairs or outright demolition.
